That Promised Day: The Coming Forth of the LDS Scriptures. DVD.

You will be fascinated by this compelling story of the miraculous events that led to the creation and publication of the modern version of the complete standard works of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. It chronicles the monumental project initiated in 1972 to publish an LDS edition of the King James Bible and the subsequent revisions of other Church scriptures to include crossreferencing footnotes and many other beneficial study aids. This documentary film shows how the hand of the Lord was evident throughout the process as the painstaking work was performed by some of the greatest scholars of this dispensation under the direction of prophets, seers, and revelators. In President Thomas S. Monson’s observations included in the film, he states, “More people have studied the scriptures, more people have carried the scriptures, and more people have been taught the scriptures and understand the scriptures as a result of the work we’re talking about.”

Including commentary by President Thomas S. Monson, President Boyd K. Packer, Sylvia Allred, and many others.
